Winner of 2003 Cammy for Best Urban Hip-Hop Vocals, Cincinnati OH

The Walker Project is not confined to any one genre. Their musical style freely blends folk and poetry with spoken word and soul. This creates an energy and intimacy felt in every song and performance. The Walker Project is a soulful- smooth blend of guitar, bass and vocals that linger in your head long after the two have left the stage. Carole Walker's songwriting goes far beyond convention, as she weaves her lyrics into a tapestry of spoken word, poems, and heartfelt songs all wrapped in her warm powerful voice. Chris Walker is simply a master on Bass, a self proclaimed student of Jaco Pastorius, making the bass both cry and thump. This combination is the reason why audiences nominated the Walker Project for the 2003 Cammy award and why they keep coming back for more.

Carole and Chris are no strangers to the stage. The two were founding members of the highly acclaimed Cincinnati based band, Heavy Weather. And both still lend their sound out to a host of local and not so local groups. Including The Whitney B Band, Noah Hunt and the 420 All Stars, Freekbass and The Derrick Sanderson Soul Expression.





Music flows in the blood of Carole and Chris Walker, and it flowers into beautiful songs when they perform together. When you do what you love with love all that can be said is "there will be a light so bright that you can't help but to spread it around". Those lyrics from The Light say it all. The Walker Project has set out to spread their light around, and they continue to leave a blazing trail of satisfied fans along the way.
